Just saw Bob in net tonight, man is Torts an absolute joke. Korpi is 2-0 and done everything asked of his team . So glad that our front office thought this guy was the right man to lead the youngest team in the league. Performance be dammed, if your a regular, he will continue to play you regardless if you perform or not. Maybe Korpi can go a month before his next start, to keep him in the grove. Good lord.

It's more important to this team that Bob gets going than it is that Korpi gets going. Let go of your hate.

Also - to all - AZ is better than you think, tonight should be fun.

It’s more important that we play the players that give us the best chance to win each night . Competition will make him better , or wilt . Right now , Korpi is the better goalie . Make Bob earn the job by playing well , perhaps it would toughen him up from a mental standpoint . I don’t see why this is a hard concept for some to understand . Plus , it’s just another example of why Torts is a terrible coach , for the youngest team in the league . It’s not about earning your ice time based on how your playing with him . We saw it in camp, we see it daily. Young guys can bust their ass , and not get rewarded .

People been saying AZ better than their record for years...like Buffalo. They are young but "you are what your record says you are"...until you are not. CBJ need to win a decisive game here. Bobs and supporting cast need to keep AZ to one goal or less while some of our bottom nine scorers who are not scoring (this is not directed at everyone) but they need to start potting some goals.

We can debate the goalie situation till the ice melts but Bobs is the #1 and Bobs should be starting 55-60 games.

My concern with this debate would be if Korpi goes out against AZ and has another stellar game there would be more fans clamoring for more Korpi. Yes he has played well but he has clearly gotten the easier schedule so far.

I don't ever remember thinking that Buffalo was better than their record. Arizona is over .500 with Raanta in net.

Arizona good off the rush and likes to try for long passes through neutral zone to set up their odd-man rushes. Good play in neutral zone a must. Offense not missing wide and clearing offensive zone also a must.

If we play like we played Chicago I believe we will have a favorable result. Need 4 lines that can compete
